One mercenary is allowed by default and up to 3 mercenaries are allowed if the opposing team agrees. In order for your mercenary to be allowed by default, he cannot be more experienced than the tier the match is being played in. Experience in other leagues is included. Opponents can allow exceptions. To use more than one mercenary, you will need specific approval from the opponent for each mercenary.

A player counts as “experienced” in the tier if, during the current season or in the prior three seasons, they played three or more officials in that tier. For example, for Season 16 experience, we will look at matches during season 16, as well as games in Season 13, 14, and 15. If a player is on a roster of a team in a higher tier than the match in question, he cannot be claimed as a default merc.

6v6 experience is considered equal to highlander experience, for Season 16 we will look at 6v6 seasons 27-30. Other leagues are included in experience. UGC HL Plat is considered to be high and as such players with plat experience are not allowed to default merc in mid, Gold and Silver are considered to be Mid. This applies to all regions of UGC. We do not count UGC 6v6 or 4v4 experience. As there is no way to check UGC player history, as such the three game threshold does not apply for UGC experience. For example, if a player was rostered on a UGC Platinum team in the last three seasons they will be counted as a player with high experience in ETF2L.

Use the match page to present mercenaries and ask for allowance. Even the default merc has to be presented, so that your opponents can make sure he is not too experienced. If you wish to contest the default allowance of a mercenary, please contact an admin (support page), so that he may decide whether or not the mercenary is too experienced.

As can clearly be seen in these rules you need to present the default merc. The default merc is ALSO rostered on a ugc PLATNIM team.

I expected better after comments such as “Read the rules before getting a merc” and “REaD tHE rUlES oR lOOk LiKe FoOlS”

Maybe you should stop being so passive aggresive towards a team that beat you fair and square. Like I understand your dad whoops your ass and your mom left your father for a black guy named Jemal, however Samual of the Yang the greatest Demo to ever lead a team in mid ETF2L cannot change that fact, F.
